In about 2-3 years, I'll be creating a new Breed of chicken called the Emerald Dragon.(Discussion)

Thats a gorgeous Roo! However, I was thinking more along the lines of using a Blue Copper Maran Roo over blue/red EE Hens. I had a great rooster for this project once, but made the regretful decision of using him for meat... I was a fool at the time. Here he is.

So he was a Blue Silver Birchen.

Yes, the only thing not right was his color. His blue was good, but I didn't want the silver.

A Blue Red Birchen is what you want.

A Blue Red Birchen is what you want.

I've never heard of that color before, do you have any pics of that example?

He's my best example, he's partridge based.
He'd be s+/s+, E^R/e^b, Mh/Mh, Bl/bl+

Birchen is also known as crowwing.
Crowwimg doesn't have the colored wing bar, such as Duckwing, or Wheaten birds.

I see! The only issue is with the white/silver. I'd also maybe prefer blue laced red maybe? As a better standard to go by.. This rooster is very pretty though reminds me of one of my hens.

He has no silver. Only red, & gold based coloration shows. But he may produce a silver here, & there. But I won't know that until I breed him.

Lucky! I would love to have that book but it's $40 on Amazon. I bet it's worth it though. Going to ask for my birthday
